Today, I’d like to skip the infotainment and get you thinking about attending a live, in-person event called Writer MBA Conference.
I’m not personally going. I’m also not an affiliate for it. I really have no stake in it other than:
Reason #1: I know a segment of my audience is made up of writers — “writer” writers, not writers who, like me, are always fishing for a sale.
Maybe you’re in this “writer” writer group. If so, this conference could be valuable to you.
Reason #2. I know the guy behind Writer MBA. His name is Russell Nohelty.
Russell is a bestselling author of fantasy books and comics. He also writes about the business of writing, and he runs Writer MBA, a membership program to help writers make more money. And that’s what’s the conference will be about.
When I say I know Russell, I mean I know he’s a good guy.
The best proof is that Russell’s been around for a couple of decades, writing, for real, and writing about the business of writing.
Other people in the writing space work with Russell. They like him. They want to keep working with him, after all these years.
That’s because Russell pretty selflessly offers to help and contribute, without asking anything in return. Example:
When I was promoting a course this past fall, about using paid ads for building up your list, Russell wrote me and suggested we get on a call.
He could share his experiences spending close to $30,000 this year on building up his Substack audience to 70,000 readers.
He suggested we record the call, and then I could give it away as a free bonus to the course I was promoting.
So we did, and I did.
I then asked Russell if anything of his I could help him promote.
He said the Writer MBA Conference, because from what I can tell, it’s his baby. He takes it seriously. He wants to make it something really different to all the other conferences out there.
So here I am, telling you about the Writer MBA Conference.
The most bare-bones details are that it’s happening live and in person, in mid-March, in New Orleans.
As for the full details of why you might want to go, or why you might want to go to this particular conference, I’ll let Russell tell you about that. If you’re a “writer” writer, and you want to meet people who can help you succeed in what you do, take a look here:
